Forbuch, the chief town of Canton sad of the District of Sarregnemines, of the Department i:rf Moselle, is an admirably situated town. It is on adellghtful plain at the foot of a mountain called Schloss- VOL. LXXXV.-- NO. rc, berg. and derives some importance from its custom' house. It was formorlv the chief town of grand seigniory, and for Its defence a castle won built up.)n the bile of a mountain. The ruins are Fain visible there. • In 1718 the seigniory,was erected into a duchy.

Its peculiarly dangerous islsition, being on the left of the Maine and grsatly cov eted by thi• Fre , inch,;„ led 'to its fortifien• !ions being4of the strtnigeSt character. : It was originally garriconed by 8,006 men: hut after the decisive defeat of Austria inn the fahr contest, it MAN agreed by the treaty of Prague that its fortifications 'Mould be dismantled and its garrison withdrawn. This stipulation Was insist ell on be Ann.tria, but the Prussians have never carried out tine cmulitions,and May ence is at this moment tint, of the strong est cities in the world. The four lines of works are greatly strengthened by nut works sold detached works ;Intl . by Fort which is Inin,the upper bank of tine Main. 'Fine city of Alayence is on isoite tfl lit. 11101/th Of this river, which here falls into the !thine about Invents' miles west of Frankfort, with which it is connected hp a railway.

ShOuld it he necessary to with. draw its !garrison; it. could easily be re ',faced ht; Baden soldiers., The 0 rand•DukC having shown the most unmistakable symputhY for the Prussian cause. . ' . . Is the fortress parr excellence of Prussia and is regarded as the tlibraltar of the Rhine, opposite to eol.llelliZ. It is connec ted with this town by a bridge of boats. Part of the fortifications lie at the'foot of the bi11.41.18* feet in height, and almost perpendicula., but since , it was taken by the French in 1196, and again in 1799, its fortifications have been trebled and quad rupled in at reno h. and the entire hill bus 'been turned into a fortress. It has been thought uneecessary to 'scarp the steep sides. though it is on record that a British tourist made the ascent to the intense as. tonisliment of a sentry. The garrison atnonnts to 14.000 men, and harkitherto been under • the command of I.lovernor Prendzymaki, who belongs to the Eighth Anne Corps., commanded by General Her wartb, whose headquarters are In Cp. blentz, on' the opposite side of , the river, The troops are furnished with water by an artesian well, and the fortress contains a steam cooking apparatus of un exampled magnitude. Provisions for three- years are continually kept in store, and the . greatest pre cautions arc taken to pr . event a knowledge of the fortifications falling into the hands of strangers. Ehrenbreitstein has been besieged ninny times py the French, and was taken only An one !occasion, in 1799, when the garrison woo forced to surren der for lack of supplies. The chief dan ger now is front the hills in the rear. which command the lower ranges of for tification from the increased power of modern projectiles; but though much of die citadel might be laid in ruins it would seem impossible to take it by regular as sault, or by a coup de turtia. Eltrenbreit stein is mounted with 000 pieces of arta ' Ivry, and its tines cost $.3,730,0(N). Coblentz may be considered under the same head. It is situated on the confluence of the Mo. !wile and the Rhine; and its fortifications were built by the famous Vauban, being improved afterward by Montatembeck. Ito garrison is errs large, and Is chiefly from the Eighth Corps. In time of war Coqlentz and Ehrenbreitatein will accom modate 100,000 men. Cobleutz was taken, by the French Directory, iu 1794, after a very fierce struggle. The French - built a stone bridge over the Moselle here. and fortified it with a tele du punt bristling with cannon. Oar Trade with the Blockaded Stales Our imports from the States oldie Zoll verein, in the,year enditii June 30, 1868, were to the amount of $21,568,988. Prus sia brought us $11,000,000, and Saxony $5,000,000. Among the leading articles were: Cotton Hose, $2,522,239; Laces, $084,000: Clothing, $815,000; Hops. $333,.. 000: Pig Lead, $546.000; Silk, $713,000; Cloths, $3,810,000; Women's Dress Goods, $851,000: Webbings, $603,000: - 'Velvets and Ribbons, $1,200,000; Furs. $900,000. These are. among the larger aggregates. Included in the list are paper. pencils, books, pipes, beads, steel sundries, toys. dolls, Sc., &c. Everybody knows what a world of trifles and gimcracks form the staple of a German "fancy goods" store. The articles Imported are not made here, many of thein, and cannot be. So if the tear lasts, look out for a rise in Christmas toys and presents. During the year end ing June 30, 1869, our exports to Germany were $39,427,403, including gold. Cotton was pat at $14,000,000, Petroleum at $3,- 000,000, Tobacco at $5,000,000. Lard at $1,400,000, and Gold and. Silver at about $lO,OOOOOO. 'We sent also in Sewing Ma chines to the value of $377,000, Dry Goods $330,000,..0nns $441,000. In the year ending June 30, 1868, our exports amounted to $45,945,864, of which $43,- 3811,384 Were to Atlantic and $0,477;t36 to Mediterranean pints. This is 'a large trade to be erLdangered by the sear, and the pricea of French goods will undoubt edly stiffen in the niarket.tf the blockades are made effective, and the extreme pro tectionists will have . the great gratitica, ties of seeing the "products of foreign looms' kept out of out maract. The Treaty of Paris no Congress of Paris in 1895 made a declaration by which the powers that signed it are bound. The articles are four in number.- First—Privateering is and remains abolished. Second—Thu' neutral flag covers the cargo of the enemy except contraband of war. Third Neutral goods, except contraband of war, an, not seizable under the enemy's flag. Fourth --Blockades to he obligatory most be erectly,. It is under these- rules that _Trance and Prussia conduct their war on the seas. When the declaration of Paris was made, the United States were asked to sign it. This they refused unless the other powers would agree to further_s stipulation _that private. property should be exempt as well from seizure by public armed cruisers as by prlvateors. In 1881, Mr, Seward tendered the accession of this country to the Paris'Declaration, but it was declinetrty England and France un less to apply prospectively: So far the States of Europe bane not excepted the ultimatum of the United States, "that free ships make free goods" equally igainat privateers and nifflonal vessels.
